摘要

Epidemiological studies suggest that dietary consumption of phytoestrogens is associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Among phytoestrogens, coumestrol employs estrogen receptor (ER) as a target to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Competitive binding experiments revealed a higher affinity of coumestrol for ER beta than for ER alpha. However, recent evidence demonstrates that apoptotic potential of coumestrol in breast cancer cells requires ER alpha and not ER beta. It was, therefore, pertinent to enhance our understanding of coumestrol selecting ER alpha or ER beta subtype. In the present study, we elucidated the binding mechanism of coumestrol to ER alpha and ER beta at a molecular level using molecular docking, access channel analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The MD approach was used to determine the structural stability of coumestrol docked to ER alpha and ER beta by analysing H-bonds, interaction energy, radius of gyration, solvent-accessible surface area, root mean square deviation (RMSD), RMS fluctuation and secondary structure elements. Our results clearly suggest that coumestrol on interaction with ER beta causes an overall destabilization of Apo-ER beta structure whereas the same on interaction with ER alpha leads to strong substrate binding and an increase in Apo-ER alpha structural stability. Principal component analysis revealed higher strenuous motions of the coumestrol-ER beta complex further supporting destabilization of coumestrol-ER beta during the MD run. In conclusion, this is the first report in which in silico approaches were implemented to suggest the effect of structural stability on selective binding of coumestrol to ER alpha and not to ER beta. We expect these findings to provide significant insights into ER-based drug development particularly for receptor mediated mechanisms for breast cancer treatment.
